Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 24 I have objections

Since it was noon, the students at Shrek Academy had already finished their classes. The first class after the class division didn't have much substantial content; it was mostly about the class members and teachers getting to know each other.

In the afternoon, the homeroom teacher formally explained some matters after the class division. After returning to the dormitory, Huo Yuhao did not go to the cafeteria for a meal. Instead, after resting for a while, he entrusted his body to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and then entered his spiritual sea.

Looking at the small gray ball in the corner, Huo Yuhao could see through his Eye of Truth that after this period of nurturing, the overall structure of the gray ball was much more complete than before.

So Huo Yuhao's spiritual body went directly over and tried to use his spiritual power to touch the small ball, and Huo Yuhao's spiritual power made contact with it.

A sense of warmth amidst the silence spread into Huo Yuhao's spiritual body.

"Senior, you should be awake by now. You've been in my spiritual sea for three months now. Isn't it time to talk about rent?" Huo Yuhao asked tentatively through his spiritual power.

He had tried this method many times over the past month, but had not received a response from Electrolux.

Today should have been the day for Electrolux to temporarily awaken and help Huo Yuhao, but Huo Yuhao wasn't entirely confident about whether he could actually wake Electrolux up.

After all, in the original story, Electrolux's awakening was triggered by sensing Huo Yuhao's strong emotional fluctuations, and then he fell back into a deep sleep.

Although the Sea of ​​Spirit can provide a stable environment for Electrolux's consciousness to repair itself, it cannot nourish Electrolux's consciousness or help him speed up the repair process.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao did not have much hope for this attempt. However, he believed that persistence would eventually pay off. Through his Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao observed that, unlike his previous interactions, the gray sphere formed by Electrolux's consciousness was trembling almost imperceptibly.

"Senior? You're awake?" Huo Yuhao asked tentatively again.

Then came an aged voice, which let out a long sigh and replied with a hint of helplessness: "Little fellow, it is true that my divine sense is damaged, but it is not that I have no ability to perceive the outside world at all."

"For the past two months, you have entered the Sea of ​​Spiritual Energy to cultivate every day without fail, rain or shine, and you have always remembered to greet me. It is not easy, but there is no need for that. My spiritual sense is now damaged, and I can only make a limited number of moves."

"For ordinary crises or needs, the big worm residing in your spiritual sea can already satisfy them, so why do you always have to bother this old man?"

"Besides, I have no ill intentions towards you, little guy, you don't need to be so wary of me." Electrolux assumed that Huo Yuhao's attempts to awaken him were simply because an outsider had inexplicably entered his sea of ​​consciousness, hence his wariness.

"As for the room fee you mentioned, little one, my memory is not yet complete. Once my consciousness is restored, I will not occupy your spiritual sea for nothing."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed: "It's just that I've been worried about you, Senior, since you haven't made any moves for so long. Besides, I'm also quite curious about your background. Now that you've awakened, I wonder if you could reveal a little bit about it?"

Electrolux paused, seemingly lost in thought, before continuing, "I don't think I originally belonged to this world. As for other things, I can't really remember much. Once my consciousness recovers a bit, I'll try my best to help you."

All I can remember now are some vague fragments.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately replied, revealing his true intentions: "Then, senior, do you still remember any methods of cultivating and utilizing spiritual power or energy? Could you please impart some knowledge to this junior?"

"Of course, I will not take your knowledge for nothing. Although I am not strong now, I will try my best to search for items that can repair your divine sense and exchange them with you."

"Hehe, little guy, you're not that old, but you've got quite the big mouth. With your current cultivation level, you can't even get your hands on something that can repair your divine sense."

"It's good that you have this intention. I do have some fragmented methods of controlling mental power in my memory. I'll give them to you as rent for these days."

A cool power emanated from the gray sphere and then enveloped Huo Yuhao's mental body. At the same time, a method for controlling mental power appeared in Huo Yuhao's memory.

It is exquisitely crafted, and although it is not complete, it is enough for Huo Yuhao to study it thoroughly now.

"Alright, little one, I'm going to repair my divine sense now. Don't bother me again unless it's urgent. If I need your help, I will naturally lend you a hand."

Having achieved his goal, Huo Yuhao said with a grin, "Then I won't bother you any longer. May I ask how I should address you?"

"I don't have my name in my current memory. If I remember it someday, I'll tell you, little one." Then, the gray ball broke its mental connection with Huo Yuhao and fell asleep again.

"Well, it's enough for now. Although the mental power control method I obtained doesn't have a name, it's far more sophisticated and systematic than the only mental power control method I currently possess, the Purple Demon Eye."

"With this method, I can also improve my Mental Impact Soul Skill. Adding a Soul Power Circulation effect will only make the Mental Impact even more powerful, and the backlash will be significantly reduced."

"Beep beep, beep beep, Xiao Yuhao, pay attention! Xiao Yuhao, pay attention! An emergency has occurred outside. Please take over the body immediately! Please take over the body immediately!"

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm writhed on the ground of the Sea of ​​Spirit, then fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, the voice that originally belonged to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was echoing in Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao left the Sea of ​​Spirit and returned to his body.

It wasn't Tianmeng Ice Silkworm speaking just now, but rather Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, having controlled Huo Yuhao's body for several months, trying to be lazy by separating a portion of its spiritual power and consciousness to form a spiritual clone.

This spiritual clone is not very intelligent and can only perform some daily behaviors, such as eating, attending classes, and listening to lectures.

If Huo Yuhao is questioned, or in other special circumstances, this spiritual clone will remind Huo Yuhao in the sea of ​​consciousness to take back control of his body.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao found himself in the classroom, and the people around him were still talking. Huo Yuhao quickly took over the memories left by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's spiritual clone and learned what had happened.

Huo Yuhao immediately rolled his eyes inwardly.

Perhaps due to an inexplicable fondness for his original martial soul, he, a special student who was reported as an "agility-attack type," was actually nominated by Wang Yan as a candidate for class monitor of the control type.

The other candidates were Cao Jinxuan, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo.

However, due to his performance in previous competitions, which differed from the original story, not many people objected to Huo Yuhao becoming the class monitor of the Control Department.

After all, being able to instantly control a three-ring Soul Master with only one ring cultivation, who would dare to disagree with such strength as the class leader of the control system?

Even Dai Huabin couldn't use Huo Yuhao's strength as an excuse, otherwise, what would he be if he lost to Huo Yuhao?

"Teacher Wang, I have an objection." Huo Yuhao didn't waste any words and said directly, "The position of class monitor requires too much energy and time. My soul power cultivation is too low, and I don't have that much time to manage the affairs of the class."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan was taken aback. He hadn't expected anyone to voluntarily refuse the position of class monitor.

After all, as freshmen, eleven or twelve-year-old children value face very much, and the opportunity to lead others can motivate these children to work hard. The position of class monitor can be said to be a free lunch for homeroom teachers.

This is the only way to keep these mischievous kids in their most unruly age behaving properly, but surprisingly, some people still refuse.

Upon hearing this, the others also began to discuss it. Although Huo Yuhao's performance in actual combat was amazing, he was indeed only a one-ring Soul Master. Although this level of cultivation was not bad for his age, it was nothing special in Shrek Academy, where geniuses gathered.

Wang Yan sighed and said in a deep voice, "Since Huo Yuhao, you are unwilling, then your teacher will not force you."

"However, your teacher still hopes you understand that being willing to take responsibility is sometimes more important than self-cultivation."

"Shrek Academy is our home, for a day and for a lifetime. Maintaining the academy and uniting our companions are also important aspects of this."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly, seemingly taking it to heart, but inwardly he thought, "Yeah, right, right, whatever you say is fine until I have the power to crush Shrek Academy."

Aside from the minor incident involving Huo Yuhao, the election of class monitor was quickly and smoothly completed.

As the champion of this year's freshman assessment, Wang Dong, coupled with his outstanding looks, quickly gained the support of a large number of girls.

With the addition of some male students who disliked Dai Huabin, Wang Dong defeated Dai Huabin and his competitors by a considerable margin and won the position of class monitor of the assault department.

But her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Huo Yuhao, and she naturally understood why Huo Yuhao refused to become the class monitor.

Huo Yuhao had also talked to her in the dormitory, saying that the class monitor of Shrek Academy was a lot of trouble and never did anything good.

Not only does it delay cultivation, but it also doesn't bring any benefits, and it makes other students see it as a competitor. Dealing with these trivial matters every day is already annoying enough.

Although Wang Dong also noticed this and thought so, she was too proud to refuse this dispensable honor.

Therefore, looking at Huo Yuhao, who seemed to be making excuses about insufficient cultivation, Wang Dong understood that Huo Yuhao really didn't care about, or rather, looked down on, the position of class monitor at Shrek Academy.

"Alright, that's all for today's class. Go back and get some rest, everyone. We'll officially start learning tomorrow, so I hope you're all in the right mindset."

"The workload after the classes are divided is much heavier than in the first three months after enrollment," Wang Yan said with a smile.

Upon hearing that they could leave school early, the students excitedly left the classroom. Little did most of them know that tomorrow they would be subjected to a baptism by the perverted old hag Zhou Yi.

Back in the dorm, Huo Yuhao smiled smugly and asked Wang Dong, who was lying on his bed making frustrated noises, "How does Class Monitor Wang feel now that he's become the teacher's helper again?"

"I regret it. I should have refused like you." After spending three months with Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong had become more open. After accumulating emotions because of Zhou Yi, he learned to vent his emotions by acting crazy when he returned to the dormitory.

"That perverted old hag Zhou Yi is also my homeroom teacher. She treated me terribly for the past three months. Damn it, why didn't you just refuse her for me too!"

Wang Dong threw his pillow over, which Huo Yuhao easily caught and then threw back, hitting Wang Dong in the face.

"If you don't want to refuse, then you don't have to refuse. Just do what you want, and if you don't want to do it anymore, then you don't have to. You're a core student now, so Zhou Yi can't possibly fire you, can she? At worst, she'll just remove you from your position."

Hearing this, Wang Dong said somewhat awkwardly, "I just... I didn't want the class monitor position to fall to that guy Dai Huabin. You saw the look in his eyes, humph, what makes him a defeated opponent!"

"Just because their soul power level is higher than yours, fine, fine. Whether you become the leader or not is your business. I'm going to meditate now. Call me when it's time for dinner." After saying that, Huo Yuhao turned over and got back into bed.

Three months have passed, and he has almost copied all the books in Shrek Academy's outer courtyard. Now he no longer needs to go to the library to borrow books every day. Therefore, when Huo Yuhao has nothing to do, he simply lies on the bed and enters the so-called meditative cultivation state.

At that time, he was actually trained by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, while his own spirit was immersed in the sea of ​​spirit, constantly conducting a series of experiments and tests on the soul power circuit, or analyzing the composition of soul skills, martial souls, and the human body, trying to make another breakthrough.

However, this daily, head-down training, coupled with the fact that he hadn't collected enough data and that most of it had already been used repeatedly, meant that Huo Yuhao's experiments were making little real progress.

"Looks like I need to find some time to gather some new data. And what about that soul bone? Let's analyze it first. The structure of a soul bone is incredibly complex; we've only managed to piece together the surface so far."

"However, it's also possible that this soul bone's foundation is at the thousand-year level, which is quite strong. Since there are no hundred-year soul bones available for reference, it's impossible to determine."
